Question by : Will the Canon Rebel T2i take infrared photographs?
I saw a BEAUTIFUL gallery of infrared photographs on deviantART, and I was just wondering if the camera I’m getting soon would support that. It’s the Canon Rebel T2i.

Thanks so much!
Okay, so there’s no way I’m converting my camera just to take IR shots, and I can’t do it myself, either :P So, if I were to use an external filter, would I be able to adjust it in Photoshop and make it look very very similar to a “true” IR?

Answer by Sound Labs
The short answer is no. Virtually all digital cameras have an IR filter to block infrared light. Because digital sensors can be sensitive to this kind of light, along with UV light, it can cause color casts and other funny problems.

If you want to take true IR photos, you’ll need to have your camera sent to a specialty shop that will remove your IR filter. But once you do that, the camera will no longer work the same way when trying to take normal photos.

Lots of photographers just shoot RAW, and then use software that mimics IR photography.

Question by helloimD4NNY: How do I take clear pictures of fast moving objects on a Canon Rebel T1i?
Even on sports mode pictures have that smeared effect. The T1i is also referred as the Canon EOS 500D. I’m using the efs 18-55mm lens.
I’m shooting pictures of people bboying(breakdancing).

what are you shooting?

500th of a second shutter speed will freeze most things using ambient light

flash freezes most things but bullets

so use flash or use 500th shutter or faster

Question by BRITTKN33: Is a Canon EOS Rebel XTi a good camera?
My friends going to buy a new camera so shes looking to sell her Canon EOS Rebel XTi for 300. Which is a really good deal seeing that it’s 600. But I wanted to know if the camera’s any good like the quality of the photos. If it takes nice indoor photos as well as outdoor. And it’s user friendly because this will be my first dslr.

ask you friend to let you borrow it for a few hours, or days. Take some pics. Review the owners manual. If she doesn’t have one go to Barnes and Noble and read one that’s on the shelf. Battery charger? Spare battery. How often, and how many pics are you going to take? A lot, often, you might want a memory card with a large capacity; like CF

It’s $ 600 NEW. When she bought it, and walked out the store door with it, it became used. It’s resale value might be $ 300-400 or less. If she is buying another Canon she will prob want to keep any extra lenses she might have; however, if she is switching to another brand (Nikon) you might get her lenses cheap. EF series lens or EF-S series lens work on digital Canon’s. EF-S only work on digital, not film cameras.

Do Filmmakers Really Need A Digital Camera As Beautiful As This One?
DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D revolutionized low-budget videography, while higher-end digital cinema rigs like the RED Scarlet and Arri Alexa are robust enough for Oscar-nominated cinematographers while remaining "cheap" by Hollywood standards.

i want to view my pictures on my t.v so i can draw them but its getting frustrating to upload them.

Answer by Jim A
I’m assuming a Viera is a television? If that’s the case it should have a usb in. Put your photos on a flash drive and run them that way, I do it all the time with my Sony flat screen.

But I think it is way too expensive. My friend has one and she said the body alone is $ 2,000. I want to make another recommendation for him. What would be something similar, that would also save him some money?

buying a canon eos ef-s lens soon (need help to compare these two)?

Question by John P: buying a canon eos ef-s lens soon (need help to compare these two)?
lookin at 2 lenses the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM vs Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5/5.6 Image Stabiliser USM.i want to replace my ef-s 17-55 is kit lens which i think is has a very limited range.and i think one of these will do the job perfectly.can u give me an insight what you think about these two.would rather have advice from people who used it rather than reading on one sided reviews from the makers…and why the heck is the 17-85 more expensive anyway..
thanks
jp
but which of the two is the better lens anyway ?

Best answer:

Answer by David M
There is a lot that goes into lens design. The size of the lens does not necessarily determine the price. The larger the aperture and the quality of the glass determine price. Size only begins to matter with long telephoto lenses. To give you an example my EF 17-40 F4L costs about $ 700. The 16-35mm F2.8L is $ 1,300.

Of the two lenses you mentioned. The 28-135 will give you the most range. It is a much longer lens than the 17-85. For an even better all around choice look at the 18-200mm.

Edit: I would say the 17-85 is probably a little bit better but not much. It also isn’t that much longer than the 18-55. The 28-135 is a good lens. Part of the reason the price is about $ 70 cheaper is that it is the kit lens for the 40D and 50D. There are just many more of them produced. I would get the 28-135. You will appreciate the extra 50mm. If you need the wider angle you can use your 18-55.
